Cherries, raspberries, forest floor, mushrooms and spice on the palette. Ruby-purple in colour. Just ok.

A Typical Oregon Pinot Noir. Showing strawberries, raspberries, light wood, earth, barnyard, wet leaves and black pepper.

Light to medium in body with medium acidity and nice legs.

Dry on the palate and easy drinking, but a little bitter on the ending for my taste. Would probably get better in the next few years.

Not my style, but very drinkable nonetheless.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

84 points.

$19.

Can't get enough of this one. At $18 it's a steal.

At Elisabeth on 37th in savannah. A very nice wine, light with a spicy aroma.

A pleasant Pinot showing the warmth of the vintage instead of Oregon's grace. // it's a Pain Perdue nose with gingerbread and rich red jelly. There's plenty of acid, but you've also got spice and warm fruit on the palate. Deliciously leaning into the warm 2014 vintage. $24 retail.

Dark red fruits and high tannins. This is a bolder Pinot Noir with hints of earthy tones and a long finish.

Cherry, blackberry, rapberry, mossy earth, dried sage, oak and hints of licorice. Good structure and quite tannic.

Light Ruby with Berry fruit aromas and floral spice notes. On the palate black cherry and plum flavors come through with pepper spice. Lively acidity and fine tannins make this wine balanced. A touch of oak on the medium length finish gave the wine a pop. Nice value.
